Al-Zawahiri cites Bush's plan to send more than 20,000 U.S. troops to Iraq, and asks, "Why not send 50,000 or 100,000?" FBI officials said Monday that U.S. forces found documents at least six months ago indicating al Qaeda in Iraq has aspirations to attack on U.S. soil." ~CNN
Hmmm...immanent threat. So like August 6, 2001 PDB immanent threat? Or Katrina Force Hurricane immanent threat? I'm not sure. And the President's not telling. This threat was discovered six months ago, and yet it's made public the day before his sixth State of the Union Address when his popularity is currently next to nil.
No one is taking George's calls. And he needs to send more troops to Iraq! Why? Something about it being the only way to win. Why they didn't slap a Mission Accomplished sign over a KFC/TGI Friday's/Nike sponsored globally televised execution of Saddam and start bringing troops home the next day, I will never know.
The policies to be set forth in the State of the Union Address are getting a vicious going over both in the international press, and here at home. Taxing our health benefits as income? This is a win for us how? Think, damn it! Your policies have failed. You're presiding over a red hot economy that doesn't know whether to implode or dominate the world, you're out-to-lunch playing at a fantasy with our dime and the lives our fellow citizens, and you want to tax health care as income?
I have no words.
